Whew.....Such a Busy Time of Year!

I start back to school next week. I have been very busy in my classroom getting it ready for all the fresh faces that will come through my classroom door on Wednesday and this is my last chance to get any home projects done before my life is taken up with grading, lesson planning, and other school, mom, and PTC duties. (Didn't I just reprimand myself for run-on sentences? Oh well! At least I know it's a run-on. My third graders usually don't know it.)

In addition to working in my classroom, I did a complete reorganization of Worker Bee's and my bedroom. Nothing really dramatic, but just some editing, switching out some furniture, and putting up a great giveaway I won from Cathe over at Just Something I Made. I hope to share all these little changes on Sunday.

In the meantime I thought you might enjoy a sneak peek of some sweet pink treasures in our room.

( I swear I just dusted all these treasures! Please, avert your eyes from the dust!)

Oh, dear Sweet Honey Bee! I have, once again, had a lovely and refreshing time visiting you. (Except for the part where you mentioned school - usually I'm so ready for it to start but....sigh) You're so funny for mentioning your run on sentence. Blogging has made my technical use of the English language sort of fall apart. Embarrassing a bit...

Your outdoor dining area is sooooooo wonderful! What a lovely difference you've made. Tom JUST got our outdoor table out of the barns and cleaned them off. Er, better late than never????? We haven't had any lawn because of the stone wall construction and the puppy enclosure but both are done and put away. We feel so relieved that we almost want to cry. There are so many small things that we can take for granted, hmmm?

Hello Sweet Bee!Thank you for your visit today! I was tardy ;-) with my PS post this morning so hope you will stop by again to see!Love all your sweet pinks today! Crabtree & Evelyn is the best isn't it!!And your roses sure do look real to me!Happy PS and enjoy a new year at school!Hugs and Smiles,Lynn

Love the dust! LOL- I have some of that, too...well, maybe more than some.Enjoy your weekend before the madness begins. Brave woman to be teaching 3rd graders. Thanks for stopping by to visit!Hugs- Tete

Hi Sweet Bee,Take it easy before you are back in the rat race.Do you have time to stop by and look at the bumble bees on my blog? I think you will love Lalique's haircomb of horn, light and nightblue enamel with gold.Happy weekend!

Hi Janelle,Buzzing in one more time as this is so worthwhile looking at and listening to, a very busy busy bee flying about:http://thedutchesss.blogspot.com/ Yes, it is correct that there are three s's in the URL.The text of the song on my blog is a lyric from the Swedish pop group Abba. René Lalique was a famous Art Nouveau / Jugendstil jeweler. I am a great admirer of his works.Which grade are you teaching? What I can read from your blog you must be such a fun and creative teacher. That will be such a stimulus for the kids you teach.Happy Sunday and stay well!

I have a totally pink bathroom, pink tiles and pink paint on the walls, pink tiles on the floor, a pink wicker shelf. Love pink! Thanks for the inspiration. I'm going to show my pink bathroom on my blog soon!
